i've heard of it before. i'll be honest: i don't much like haskell. for example, this makes me crazy (haha):

  mmult mA mB = result
    where
      mBT      = transpose mB
      dot a b  = sum $ zipWith (*) a b
      result   = map (\ar -> dot ar <$> mBT) mA

either way, this is along the right lines. however, what FPGAs can you target? any xilinx chips?

it's really gonna take xilinx or altera to innovate in this space, but that is unlikely any time soon.

Xilinx is all in on high level synthesis. Although they are focusing on C++ and python instead of functional languages.

I'm kind of surprised. I get that Haskell/ML may not be the best-known, but even an original functional language is better than spamming pragmas on for loops

I think people already use Clash/Haskell to write HDL.

You can target any FPGA. Clash compiles to VHDL or Verilog.
